The students had prepared a script for the respective short movies that was also presented before the guest lecturer.
The students are enjoyed learning about film making and how it is different from theatres. Notably, film making is a collaborative form of fine art that uses live performances of may be real or imagined events on screen before the audiences. Here the performers have to communicate these events through combination of gestures, speech, song, music and dance. This is what is being taught to the students in the workshop.
